About
A brief autobiography of photographer Paul Glover.

I was born in Northern Ireland in the early 1970s. Photography wasn’t really something I grew up around, but was an interest which I gradually fell into, initially with a 35mm point-shoot, but later on with a digital compact that had some level of control.
In 2009 I was gifted a Canon F-1 kit, and that’s when things really took off. Later on I would expand to medium format, and eventually to 4x5. I shot a lot of black and white, but more recently have been finding that color “speaks to me” more readily.
I shoot with all kinds of photo gear, digital and film. At the time of writing this (October 2025) I primarily work with 4x5 film, medium format film and micro-four-thirds digital.
Artistically speaking, my true passion is for capturing the landscape and natural features, though I have been known to aim a camera at nearly anything which catches my eye or piques my interest.
I live on the side of a small, heavily wooded mountain in Virginia’s New River Valley with my amazing wife of 20+ years, 2 beagles1, a host of deer, bears and other wildlife, and a possibly infinite number of stink bugs.
More accurately, one female lemon beagle and a male who is probably at least partly foxhound and mostly insane. ↩︎
